How a Addis Ababa consignment runs

  1. 01

    Brief and quote

    Send the model, model year, budget and the destination — Addis Ababa. You get an FOB price and a CIF price to 吉布提转口（内陆）, so you can see the freight line separately.

  2. 02

    Sourcing and inspection

    We locate the unit and send a walkaround video and photos: exterior, interior, engine bay, odometer and underbody. If it does not match the brief, it does not get bought.

  3. 03

    Documents

    Invoice, packing list, bill of lading and the conformity or certification document Ethiopia requires are prepared in China before the ship sails.

  4. 04

    Loading

    RoRo for single units, or a 40ft container for two to four cars. Loading is supervised and photographed, and the container is sealed in front of the camera.

  5. 05

    Arrival and clearance

    Documents reach you ahead of the vessel, so your agent in Addis Ababa can start clearance the day it berths rather than the week after.

Addis Ababa import questions

How do cars from China reach Addis Ababa?
Units land at Djibouti and clear on the road corridor into Ethiopia. The model’s electric-only compliance route is confirmed before shipment, because a petrol or diesel unit cannot enter at all. National distribution from the capital, all of it arriving overland from Djibouti.
What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into Ethiopia?
Fuel-burning vehicles cannot be imported. Only battery-electric vehicles are admitted, and the compliance route for those is confirmed per model.
Do you deliver to Addis Ababa or only to the port?
Both are quoted. Most buyers in Addis Ababa take delivery at the port and clear with their own agent, because they already have a broker and it keeps the cost visible. We also quote delivered-to-Addis Ababa where the buyer would rather have one number and one counterparty for the whole movement.
How do I know the car is as described before it ships?
Every unit is photographed and videoed at the yard, and the walkaround goes to you before the balance is due. Loading is supervised, and a unit that fails the agreed specification at that point is stopped rather than shipped.
